Hey Bro,
Sorry it has taken me so long to to add an entry to your book. It has been pretty hard without you. I miss you more and more each day. You were always there to make everything better. I can't do anything without thinking about you. We did a lot of things together. I promise you that the family and all the people who loved you will watch over the ones you left behind. You are my heart, my confidant, my friend and my brother. You always made me better at everything. You drove me to be the man I am today and to try to be the best. Thank you for everything you have done. I miss the talks and the laughs we had together. Don't worry about anything brother we know your in a better place. Everyone misses you. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU BROTHER. I'll see you when I see you.

I would like to get together sometime. I think of your alot and have always remeber your birthday Flo.My thoughs and hugs are with you and your famialy. I will see you soon. With lots of love your freind forever, Marilyn

Where do I begin? I lost my big brother, my friend, my protector. I miss you Elmo more than words can say. I have to say that I am soooo grateful that we got to spend so much time together this past year and get closer to one another. We have always had a special bond but we made that a lot tighter. I wish you would come home and walk through my door just one more time so I could give you a hug and tell you that I love you. Please watch over me big brother. Always and forever your little Coacheze.

I have such a deep deep sorrow for Elmo's entire family. It's so hard to know what best to say when someone leaves us way too soon. Elmo was loved by so many people and there are so many hearts broken. But I do believe that God has opened his arms to Elmo and released all the pain he was feeling, and is comforting those who are hurting now. RIP in peace Elmo, and God Bless all your loved ones.
